Description
The LEED 600 with integral shutter has LEED and AES capabilities using a miniature electron gun, set of concentric grids and a conductive, phosphor coated screen. It is an extremely reliable high-performance LEED instrument which operates with up to date digital power supply. The retraction mechanism has outstanding mechanical properties ensuring smooth day-to-day operation as experienced by our large user base over decades. The wide viewing angle (90° at 51mm sample distance) and minimal shadowing of the screen by the miniature electron gun give a maximum visible LEED pattern.
Features
- High energy & image resolution for LEED and AES with no Moire pattern interference
- Large Angle (90°) fluorescent LEED display and superior magnetic shielding
- Miniature electron gun with large coherence width and dual lenses
- Suitable for in-situ film growth monitoring
- Low outgassing rate
- Convenient LEED image capture with external CCD camera
- Simple and powerful operation with digital controller
Applications
The LEED 600 is capable of providing LEED and AES data for a wide range of samples. The compact size allows for easy installation to smaller UHV systems.
Drawings
For seamless integration, 3D step files are available for all models.
LEED 600 (Model BDL600IR) calculation formula for Flange-Sample distance and
Retraction length:
FS = 150.5mm + 2 LMX – OV; where FS is the flange to sample distance, LMX is the retraction
length and OV is the overlapping length.

Configuration Guide
The LEED 600 optics is controlled using either a LPS075-D or LPS300-D power supply. The LPS075-D is used to operate the optic in LEED mode only whereas the LPS300-D in conjunction with the LOA10-AES lock-in controller and AUS30 input coupler is used to operate the optics in LEED and AES modes. Integral shutter (Model ISH-6) and LaB6 filament (Model LaB6) are further options.
